problem #2

2003May 30

Ram 1500 SLT Plus 5.9L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,000 miles

The dashboard freaked out and flashed weird codes, the on board trip computer was also flipping out. Yet another electrical failure from our buddies at Dodge - bad design. They replaced the entire instrument cluster and it has worked fine since then for the next 65K files...still works. Really took the luster off my new car purchase when combined with electrical issues with brake lights, electrical issues of dash, electrical issue of trip computer, squeakly rear leaf springs I made them replace, and many other repairs required in the FIRST 30K milles. Those were all under warranty but what a crappy product - seemed like nothing worked on it the first 2 years. Then a quiet period for about 25-30K miles then new failures started. Goodbye Dodge forever. Glad you are bankrupt, hope you don't survive the process. One sign you don't understand the problem is quality is you are pairing with FIAT. What a brilliant idea. HA!...Hello Toyota.

Interior dash lamps don't stay of consistent brightness, or sometimes fail completely. A simple rap with a closed fist on the failing component generally causes a brisk repair, however the problem shortly returns. Also, Lamp Out circuit doesn't work.
